On 28th December I said goodbye to my job, loaded bags on a Ladakh career, rode a bike for the first time and went South. I was accompanied by my friend in what seemed the craziest thing I have ever done. We initially hoped to survive on an aspirational budget of 1000 INR per day per person. And this is what ensued.

We completed this journey with an average spend of around 500 per person per day (including food, accommodation, petrol & other stuff). Total expenditure = a little less than 70000 INR.

I learnt how to ride a bike while riding 8300km of some of the most beautiful roads in the world.

Spent 2 months exploring South India and its incredible culture, and fell in love with it.

I am Deepak Chauhan, traveler, photographer, rider and a TEDX speaker from Haridwar, India. I started traveling on a motorcycle by coincidence when my friend(Bhishma) asked me for a short Trip from Mumbai to Goa On a Motorcycle and he didn't know how to ride one. We started on his motorcycle for a weekend trip and ended up traveling 46000+km across India in 500+days on a Royal Enfield. During this trip, I quit my job but kept traveling on people generosity. After my India tour, I started a crowdfunding campaign for Europe Trip and Traveled 16,000 Km across 18 European countries on a 25-year-old motorcycle using the Crowdfunded money. I saved some money (using Couch surfing )during my Europe trip.
I got sponsored by Castrol Biking for traveling across south east asia. I have traveled across south east Asia for 6 months and now started my own business of making world class OMO Electric cycles and Manual cycles with my friend Bhishma
